Sunrise from West Sea (1971) is an early psychedelic jazz-rock album from Stomu Yamashta, released under the Yamash’ta & The Horizon name
Blends free jazz percussion, progressive rock, and Eastern musical influences with long-form, experimental arrangements and heavy improvisation
For fans of: Can, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Taj Mahal Travellers
The first-ever release of 'Sunrise From West Sea', a mesmerising performance by Stomu Yamash'ta accompanied by Jazz pianist Masahiko Satoh (well known for his involvement in the New Herd Orchestra and his 'Belladonna of Sadness' soundtrack) and Taj Mahal Travellers founder Takehisa Kosugi on Electric Violin. The line up, also comprising Hideakira Sakurai on Electric Shamisen, is a spaced-out improvisational soundscape over the two LP sides. Remastered from the original tapes, the album is reissued here for the first time ever on LP. The LP comes in its beautiful original gatefold artwork with OBI strip, 2 page insert and a new introduction by journalist Paul Bowler.
